Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SmartRecruiters is our primary talent acquisition (TA) platform used by HR and all the hiring managers across sales and services within the company. It allows for a transparent and organized recruitment feed between TA and the hiring managers. It stores all candidate information and notes from those involved in the screening and interview process.

Pros and Cons

It provides better viability and stronger collaboration efforts between TA and hiring managers.
One-stop tool for all things recruiting.
Keeps historical data.

There are a couple of different ways you can view candidate profiles, and depending on the route you chose to access, certain info varies. Would be nice to simplify this.
Intelligence to make recommendations on other company positions per candidate submittal.

Candidate Experience

Because I have only used the tool to hire employees, I am unaware of the quality of candidate experience that's enabled. I do know, compared to other recruiting tools I have used this seems to be pretty straight forward and easy to use for the user and candidates. None of the employees I hired had complaints about the application.

Usability for Hiring Managers

It is very easy to use. I was new to this tool and it was easy to pick up and use from the get-go. Candidates were archived and new candidates easy to view in one place. The interface is clean and pretty self-explanatory and your notifications are received when there's any movement on candidates through the processing cycle.

Return on Investment

Quality of candidates was easier to pick out.
Cleaner line of communication meant less time spent obtaining updates from the recruiter directly.

Likelihood to Recommend

SmartRecruiters a great platform to keep TA and hiring managers connected and storing all candidate information historically. It helped keep everyone in the loop with minimal effort. I think it needs to have the ability for multiple ratings to be provided from different interviewers. I only saw one, yet I had three people interviewing who may all have a different rating they wish to give. The notes section does help with this though.
